Not to say all are but alot of them are like that. First impression based on the way you type is a very important part of how people percieve you on the internet.

The point is that in sandy to find consulates there is an easy to do it. I can see where that guy came from. Its not that hard, pull out your map and look for it. If you dont find it ask your Linkshell (you DO have one right?) or a friend. If you still dotn know you can consul the websites they have floating around the net for help. Just put forth the effort, i never knew where the consul was when i first went to sandoria but when i look at the map i noted key things and i found it eventually when i went to NSand.

Most Mentors are in it for the high and mighty non-newb thing. Thats all.

There ARE some jerks admittingly and thats why i wont usually help others unless theres a mutual benefit or that is a friend or a friend of a friend.
I agree with lion, the way you type shows kinda how mature you are, and how lazy. This applies really hard to Japanese players (which are awesome to party with if you havent yet) They are all about respect and stuff like that. There are MANY guides on the internet and such that explain everything you couuld ever want to know. Oh, and please and thank you go a long way.... :-P
